  • Patent number: 5486276
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing small magnetic disks from a nonmagnetic large disk. A nonmagnetic large disk is first prepared, and subjected to at least one step of a manufacturing process necessary for manufacturing a magnetic disk from a nonmagnetic substrate. The manufacturing process may comprise the steps of applying at least one underlayer to the substrate, applying the layer of magnetic material to the underlayer, applying the protective layer to the layer of magnetic material, applying the lubricating layer to the protective layer, carrying out a texture treatment, polishing the underlayer, and burnishing the protective layer, and carrying out a levitation and characteristic test. After at least one of these steps, the large disk is divided into a plurality of the small disks. Accordingly, it is possible to manufacture small magnetic disks, by the use of manufacturing equipment designed to manufacture large magnetic disks.

  • Patent number: 4416691
    Abstract: A method for converter blow end-point control which comprises carrying out waste gas analyses on a continuous or intermittent basis in a final stage of the blow and, based on decarburization rate data (waste gas information) obtained from said waste gas analysis, determining the end-point of the blow where the carbon content of the bath equals a target carbon content. The method is characterized by the use of the decarburization rate equation: ##EQU1## which is a differential equation taking account of the delay time (.tau.) of said waste gas information which is a period of time from the time-point of occurrence of a decarburization reaction in the converter till the time when it is detected as said decarburization rate data, and an equation:b'=g(b)which is a functional equation for increasing the predictability of carbon content of the bath at the end-point of the blow.
